What if the karma train is giving you $125,000 for all the good shit you've done in the past? The extenuating circumstances in this case are:
1) It's a money security company. They have insurance to replace the money they've lost to pay the original owner of the dough.
B) The driver should lose his job whether you return the money or not. That's a colossal mistake that won't be overlooked.
III) I believe the legal obligation is to take it to the police department. If there's no markings on the bag and the company doesn't claim it within a certain period of time, the property reverts to your possession. I'm not a cop myself, so Idunno details like whether they'd put legwork into finding the owner or if the responsibility is on the owner to find them.
I'm guessing the guy in the story knew who left the bag there and contacted them directly, but I'd personally be real conflicted as well. I might consider the ol' '125 thou on black!' and if I win, return the original directly and keep the profit, lose, 'what money? Do you see 125,000 bucks in my possession?" But more likely I'd turn it in to the authorities and hope the Brinks driver covered up the loss or the company was too stupid to claim it.
